The Battle of Algiers Reviews

I swear everyone who calls this "propaganda" or "terrorism" must have watched it with their heads up their asses.
This is neither of those, it's the painful and harsh truth that your stupid minds refuse to, and never will accept.
Realistic/ moving/ accurate/ powerful.

One of the best made film I’ve seen in a while. It genuinely looks like it could’ve come out today. It’s grimy, uncomfortable, tense, emotional and realistic. Exceptional performances and brilliant direction bring this masterclass in filmmaking

genuine masterful work. tackles the subject matter with such reverence the likes of which are unheard of, especially by western directors. no frenchmen in sight, but the next best thing. im looking at you quebecois. it's on sight.

SO A LUTA MUDA A VIDA

9.5/10

A thoughtful and introspective look on revolution and the obscure means used to obtain it, certainly one that got me thinking about what it took to get my own people's freedom in a world where cruelty and dominion speak at the highest of volumes.

Very well made and captivating. Almost a little too captivating.

Great film - Amazing to see the tactics of both sides. Also shot on location

A movie so good you forget it’s a film due to its documentary nature via its scathing history…

The children…damn it…
